The other explanation is that the Orioles gave out jerseys from the previous year at the parade. Either way nice jersey.

Nice mugs! I know it was difficult to see, but the Belanger tag is indeed from 1979. The other hope I had was that it was the jersey he wore when he went out to shallow left field & "tiptoed" to catch the last out of Game 1 of the Series:
Here is a press photo of Weaver from that parade:
